Scott John High (born 15 February 2001) is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Barnet. Born in England, High has represented Scotland at under-21 level.

Club career

Born in Dewsbury,[3] High began his career with Huddersfield Town. He moved on loan to Concord Rangers in November 2019 until January 2020,[4] but was recalled by Huddersfield a month later.[5] He returned to Concord Rangers in February 2020 for a second loan spell.[5][6]

High made his senior debut for Huddersfield on 22 July 2020, the last day of the 2019–20 season.[3] On 3 August 2020, he joined League One side Shrewsbury Town on loan for the 2020–21 season.[7] He scored his first senior career goal on 4 September 2020, netting for Shrewsbury in a 4–3 away defeat to Middlesbrough in an EFL Cup match.[8] On 29 December 2020 it was announced that his loan deal had ended.[9] He joined Rotherham United on a season-long loan on 29 July 2022.[10] However, his loan was terminated on 11 January 2023.[11]

In September 2023 he signed on loan for Scottish club Ross County.[12] On 8 January 2024, High returned to Huddersfield following a lack of playing time.[13]

On 4 February 2024, High was loaned to League of Ireland Premier Division club Dundalk until the summer.[14]

On 7 September 2024, High joined National League club FC Halifax Town on loan, initially until 3 November 2024.[15] Halifax wanted to extend the loan,[16] but due to injury it was not, although High returned to Halifax on loan in December 2024.[17]

On 5 May 2025, Huddersfield announced the player would be released in June when his contract expired.[18]

On 25 June 2025, Barnet confirmed they had signed High for the 2025-26 season.[19]

International career

High was first named in the Scotland under-21 squad in August 2021.[20] He made seven appearances without scoring.[21][22]
